Here's what it makes on a piece of paper (below); it normally has no color; I've rubbed graphite on this one to make it show up better. The impression is 1 3/4" diameter.

ITEM #5411: AA WATERMAN & Co's PORCELAIN SIGN. Besides being quite rare, this is a very puzzling configuration; Two double sided signs riveted together with each 'borrowing' about 2 inches of the back of its mate, having that part of itself missing. I can't figure how this got this way, but it is a really neat bit of advertising by Grinell sign & poster Co. NY.
Two views of the complete assembly are shown in the first two photos, front and back.
You could take these apart nand have 2 double sided signs, but they would each be missing the right 2 inches.

ITEM #3682:

ITEM 3682: A WATERMAN’S No. 636 CARDBOARD STAND-UP 16” X 12” COUNTER TOP POINT OF SALE “WATERMAN’S COLORS IN RIPPLES” DISPLAY IN INCREDIBLE COLORS SHOWING OFF THEIR LINE OF RIPPLE-OLIVE, RIPPLE –BLUGREEN, RIPPLE-ROSE AND RIPPLE-RUBBER SHORT PENS AND LARGE PENS WITH MATCHING PENCILS ON A CREAM COLORED BACKGROUND. ALSO, APPEARING RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP IS A VERY BRIGHTLY COLORED BIRD (POSSIBLY A PEACOCK???) SKIMMING ACROSS THE TOP OF A POND WITH LILLY PADS. SOME LIGHT, SPLOTCHY POINTS OF DISCOLORATIONS ON THE EDGES AND BOTTOM OF THE BACKGROUND, BUT IT DOESN’T DETRACT MUCH FROM THE OTHERWISE INCREDIBLE CONDITION OF THIS PIECE OF ARTWORK. THE BACK OF THE UNIT HAS AN AS-YET UN-FOLDED-OUT PROP FOR STANDING THE DISPLAY UP.

ITEM #PARKER FRANCHISED DEALER WINDOW STICKER: 5" X 7". Reads "Parker Franchised Dealer" and "Fine Quality Writing Instruments" with a hand holding a pen as a watermark over the latter. The photos don't do this piece justice because the peel-off backing ("fronting", really) is somewhat translucent rather than clear. I'm showing 2 different exposures to try to give a better idea of what you're getting. It's a gold color with black lettering and the hand holding the pen is smokey white. This belonged to "Mr. C", Glenn Chistensen, proprietor of THE WRITE SHOP in Long Beach and (later) Garden Grove, California from 1956 through about 2006 when he retired. This piece is un-installed and it's from the 50s, so I won't guarantee the viability of the glue; this item is being sold as an original Parker artifact.
Please understand that you are looking at it through a milky paper placed over the image during manufacture to keep it from sticking to anything until the paper is peeled off and the decal is placed against a clear glass window.
